    My Varmint is a 2004 and it's bead blasted in color. I prefer my finish.

    On that stock, is the barrel free floating all the way to the receiver?  The reason I ask is because my varmint model factory stock, the forend touches the first 3 or so inches of the barrel from the front of the receiver.

    That doesn't sound right. I can slip a dollar bill with mine all the way to the receiver.

    I had my best groupings with the Hornady 117gr SST. The Superformance version of the 117 SST wasn't as good but I think it's more of the barrel heat-up.

    M595/M695 has better stock and magazine.

    Does it have a scope? If so, have you checked the base screws?

    Which caliber & model did you get? I'm also in the Bay Area and glad to hear there are more Tikka shooters nearby.

    I had already emailed Alex and no luck. I've been searching for 2 months now… Canada has that cal but they won't ship to US.

    A little off-topic.

    Jason, what your thoughts on the T3 Tactical vs TRG-22 on accuracy?

    Side by side, easy to see the differences in machining.

    T3: all calibers are long action
    TRG: TRG-22 – short action, TRG-42 – long action

    Less bolt lift angle in TRG

    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 1 Bullseye

    Definitely the noise. A lot of brakes now have no bottom ports so the dust problem goes away. I like having a brake more for minimizing muzzle flip/rise rather than the recoil.

    You can also try a limbsaver pad since the stock pad is crummy.

    I thought the roedale clamp-on is only for varmint size barrels.

    Borka is good. I prefer traditional screwdriver types and this is accurate and easy to use.

    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 1 Bullseye

    Very nice,

    My first experience with a Tikka was with a 695 7mm Rem Mag. Are you getting >3200 fps with that barrel length? BTW, 25-06 is an awesome round. I think a future project for me would be a heavy barrel 26″ for my standard 25-06. Who did the work for you?
